These are my all time favorite shows on the small screen. Some are old and defunct...Others went out in the a blaze of glory, some are new out of the gate, and a small few are still going strong. What makes a show my favorite? Great writing, excellent characters, an interesting premise. Lots of action or special effects. Great animation. A hint of the arcane. Deep entrenchment in the supernatural. Gut-bustingly funny, you name it.

Top 100 Contemporary Romances These are the contemporary romances that I've read, enjoyed, added to my collection and found irrestible for various reasons. I would definitely want to take these if I had to flee the country or ended up stranded on a desert island.
